My main reason for not using it much is that it's largely pointless and unnecessary and much easier to use a 1mm thick piece of plastic from my pocket to just waive next the terminal.”
I have been in situations where I had my phone but not my wallet, and I have found it very useful.
I've also been in the opposite situation and used my card instead of my phone.
I think it's good to have a choice.
